Nudibranchs in Motion | Wonderful Diving at Tawali Resort Milne Bay | Papua New Guinea 2024 | 4K

Tawali Dive Resort is one of the major hotspots for underwater macro photography for nudibranchs and other seaslugs and critters in the world. It offers an almost endless variety of marine species, from nudibranchs to marine flatworms, sapsucking seaslugs, headshield seaslugs to living seashells and many more. We have found over 50 different type of Nudibranchs of which 16 were new to us up to this point. In addition Tawali in Milne Bay also has amazing reefs with plenty of fish and other marine life to discover.

Welcome to our dive trip to Milne Bay in Papua New Guinea in January 2024. We stayed nine nights at the wonderful Tawali dive resort and would like to thank the excellent staff and our amazing dive crew Alfred, Albert and captain Charly for this outstanding experience.
